How does you game fit the theme?
The player goes through sleep paralysis and experiences hallucinations which cause him to see and hear things that are not real, which fits the theme "It is not real"
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, we made all the code and most of the 3d assets from scratch. (character is from mixamo, and other small props such as pc, tv, fan and clock are from sketchfab under creative common license). Audio from freesounds.org and SoundEffectFactory youtube channel.

Really interesting concept. I loved the graphics and the story, Maybe just a picky comment but it would be nice to be more interactive. I understand the idea is to be paralyzed but only left clicking is not that exciting jeje. It kind of remind my of the hounting of hill house and victoria pedretti's character.
Overall really amazing game!
Thank you for your feedback!
Well done! This was a neat concept with some genuine horror behind it. The art looked great overall, and the sound effect had a nice chilling effect. I also liked the tilted, unnatural camera angle used to make the player feel trapped. The quick-time events were neat, but I would have liked to see the concept expanded on a little further. Overall, this game has a great atmosphere that gave me goosebumps and a great time!
Thank you for your feedback!
That's such a great idea ! I would love to see it further developed ! The idea of forcing the player to face the dangers is awesome ! And sleep paralysis is a perfect justification for that !
Great job :D
Thank you!
Scariest game I've played in this jam! Fantastic soundscape, especially the use of stereo--I REALLY wanted to be able to look to the left! I love the idea of using sleep paralysis as a basis for a horror game. I guess my only issue is that it seemed really easy to get to the good ending.
Happy to hear that you enjoyed playing the game! And we appreciate your feedback!
I don't like horror games. And i was always scared of sleep paralysis. This game showed me why and it is so good wow. Amazing game!
Thank you for playing our game!
I'm a fan of horror games and I loved yours, I like the idea that the ending depends on whether you believe it or not.
Happy to know that! Thanks for playing.
Dang, that was a freakin spooky game! Cool use of the theme and great execution, I haven't played many games like that before.
Thank you for playing our game!
It was scary and I will never go to sleep again☹
Not really and it was a great game with good soundeffects and a good concept!
Good job👍

Hi. Your game is very cool and realistic. I finished it with 2 endings and I liked it!
Happy to hear that! Thanks for playing!
I am terrified to go to sleep ! Great job dev looks really cool ! Do check out mine !
Thank you! I checked out and rated your game as well!
Wow the game looks really good. I can never sleep again. Well done!
Haha thank you for playing :D
horror game really relies on the mood and atmosphere, you nailed it on the visual and audio. And the introduction of different audio and weird creatures really make it horrifying.
For the visual: I would recommend adding some flickering visual, such as a flickering ceiling light or table lamb. The weather maybe rainy and sometimes thunder come out. frightening creatures can be added between the short time of lighting.
For the audio: I would really suggest an ambience sound (room tone) and other sound effects can be added to further build up the horror vibe. You can always hear those hollow and windy atmosphere sound continues to exist in the horror movie. Sometimes laughing sound, metal, high pitched, glass broken sound can build up the tension further more. These kind of technique would be kind of canned effect and stereotype, but it really produce instant effect within limited production time.
Really appreciate the feedback :D and thank youu so much for playing!!
Creepy game with nice graphics. I think you interpreted the theme very well with it being a horror game with hallucinations. I enjoyed it.
Thank you for playing our game!!
cool game i liked the camera angle,the ascetic really fit the mood of the game , ok but it is to scary for me I only got one play trough and I had to call someone in the room to watch me play as soon as I heard the ring or was it the grunge throat sound. I can't do horror like this any more, you got the theme right !!! now all i need to do is convince myself IT IS NOT REAL !!!
Haha thank you for still playing our game XD !!
Great horror game! The graphics, sound design, UX etc. all worked together really well :D
That said, I have a few little pieces of feedback
1) Given that the game has multiple endings, it's clearly meant to be replayable. However, the amount of time it takes for the dialogue to complete showing on the screen so the player can move on gets kind of annoying after a while and ruins the replayability. Consider changing that.
2) Some of the words were misspelt (tbf this is really nitpicky and a really minor issue, but you asked for feedback so here you go lol)
Like I said, technically, it's nearly flawless, and the whole vibe you created by combining the sound design with the artstyle feels really unique. Excited to see where you take this in the future. Good job!
Hey, thank you so much for the feedback!! We really appreciate it!! :D
It was actually pretty scary. The concept and narrative design were on point and you executed it perfectly too. I loved it!
Thanks for playing our game!!
Fellow spooky game maker! I like the game :) Started to worry cause of the lack of spooky games in this jam haha
